Resumo(s)
The main goal of this survey was to
evaluate the effectiveness of a new method
to control Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis
capitata Wied. (Diptera: Tephritidae), which
could be less hazard for the human health
and for the environment. This method uses
baits with 3% of lufenuron. For this survey,
1056 of baits were installed covering an area
of 44 ha in the North Island of Terceira. The
experiment has started in 2009 and lasted
for 3 years. The results are contradictory
about its effectiveness. Between 2009 and
2010, there was a decrease of C. capitata
male populations, while between 2010 and
2011 there was a high increase of C. capitata
male populations, overcoming 2009 capture
values. There are differences of the attack
influence of males in areas with baits and
without them. The number of captured males
was much higher than of the females.
